In honor of 50 years of midwifery education at Georgetown University, the Nurse-Midwifery (NM)/Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) and WHNP Programs’ faculty have established a student emergency fund.

Grounded in the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, both programs emphasize safe, comprehensive, culturally responsive health care to transgender and gender non-binary (TGNB) people, and to people of all sexual orientations. In line with the mission and values of Georgetown, they also seek to advance health equity, mitigate racism and biases, and provide structurally competent care through trauma informed, person-centered approaches.

Your donation to the Student Emergency Fund for the NM/WHNP and WHNP Programs will provide much needed funds to students who experience unanticipated expenses. In the spirit of cura personalis and a strong effort to grow and diversify the midwifery and WHNP workforce, these emergency funds will help ensure that students can continue with their studies. Eligible recipients must be pursuing a master's, post-graduate certificate, or doctor of nursing practice (DNP) student in the NM/WHNP or WHNP Programs.
